Mochi Lab (Waikiki 2015) – Lilikoi Butter Mochi Muffin

Finding Mochi Lab was a complete fluke. They’ve got a stall at the local Mahiku Farmers Market in the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki every Tuesday between 4-8pm.
If you’re familar with Basho Cafe in Vancouver, you know that the matcha mochi cupcake is superb.

Mochi Lab makes a similarly stunning bakery item… specifically, their Butter Mochi Muffin. At $3 a pop, I could eat these all day long. They’ve got a soft, plump feel and a chewy mochi texture in the pillowy muffin. But the real kicker is their unique flavours (pandan, purple sweet potato, black sesame, matcha, mango, etc…)
